What is Active Transport?

Back

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, requiring energy (ATP).

Front

What is Facilitated Diffusion?

Back

Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special proteins, without the use of energy.

Front

What is the formula for photosynthesis?

Back

The correct formula for photosynthesis is: carbon dioxide + water + sunlight → glucose + oxygen.

Front

What is ATP and its role in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell, produced during cellular respiration to provide energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for TAGTTAC?

Back

The complementary DNA strand for TAGTTAC is ATCAATG.

Front

What is the primary function of carbohydrates?

Back

The primary function of carbohydrates is to provide short-term energy for the body.

Front

What is Exocytosis?

Back

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs, converting glucose and oxygen into ATP.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) stores genetic information, while RNA (ribonucleic acid) plays a role in protein synthesis and gene expression.
